I feel most pretty in an A-line dress,

pleated, with pearls.

Yet most gentlemen

prefer petticoats,

which nowadays

are called thongs.

I feel most sexy in shorts and sneaks,

running, soaked in sweat.

But society says, better yet

stockings, heels, a short skirt.

In a cardigan and cargoes

I go, unnoticed,

naturally.

No one imagines what’s underneath

or inside

which is where you’ll find

the roots of beauty

the origin of sexy

the cause for desire.
